An acid is a chemical substance that has a sour taste and is corrosive if concentrated. It has a pH value less than 7. It turns blue litmus paper (pH indicator) red. Citric acid is a common acid found in lemon.

Alkali and base are the same thing. An Alkali is a chemical substance that has a soapy feeling and a bitter taste. It is corrosive if concentrated. It has a pH value greater than 7. It turns red litmus paper blue. Alkalis are commonly found in shampoos. The burning in eyes when such products get into eyes is caused by alkalis. Sodium hydroxide is a common alkali.

How many moles of Manganese there in are 5.76 x 10(15) atoms of Mn?
aksik [14]

Answer:

1. 9.57 × 10^-9 moles.

2. 7.38mol

Explanation:

1.) To find the number of moles there are in the number of particles in an atom, we divide the number of particles (nA) by Avagadro's constant (6.02 × 10^23)

Hence, to find the number of moles (n) of Manganese (Mn), we say:

5.76 x 10^15 atoms ÷ 6.02 × 10^23

5.76/6.02 × 10^(15-23)

= 0.957 × 10^-8

= 9.57 × 10^-9 moles.

2.) Mole = mass/molar mass

Molar mass of sodium chloride (NaCl) = 23 + 35.5

= 58.5g/mol

mole = 431.6 g ÷ 58.5g/mol

mole = 7.38mol

if a dinosaur once lived in mexico, and i now live in arkansas, can i be drinking the same water the dinosaur did?
MrRissso [65]
Yes, especially if its from a lake, pond, or ocean since water moves around. Dinasours could have spit out or maybe dripped some water, so basically yes.

Charles’ Law can be expressed mathematically as V=kT. If the constant k for 6.0 L of gas is 0.020 L/K (liters per kelvin), what
kozerog [31]

Answer: 300 K

Explanation:

Charles' Law: This law states that volume is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas at constant pressure and number of moles.

V\propto T    (At constant pressure and number of moles)

V=kT

Given : V= 6.0 L

k= 0.020 L/K

T=?

6.0=0.020LK^{-1}\times T

T=300 K

Thus temperature of the gas is 300 K.
